Eastman and Harman Try to Stretch the Truth

I was a prosecutor. John Eastman and Tom Harman really want people to think they are prosecutors. Too bad that they are not really prosecutors.

Eastman, a Republican candidate for Attorney General, who until recently was dean of Chapman University's law school, tried to have the ballot say he is an "Assistant Attorney General." He isn't. And certainly not in California, although he is working on one case for the attorney general of South Dakota.

Harman, another Republican candidate for Attorney General, and a current member of the Legislature, tried to have the ballot describe him as a "Prosecutor." He isn't. He did sign up for an eight-week volunteer prosecutor program, but he has not tried a single case.

Fortunately for the truth, those designations were rejected. (Eastman sued to try to overturn the Secretary of State's determination, but he lost.)
